HOOVER, Alabama - A Birmingham woman was diligent about paying her bills but the problem, police say, is she did so via auto draft out of someone else's account.

TKeyra Shaneice Lee, 23, is charged with four counts of identity theft, two counts of second-degree theft and one count of first-degree theft. Authorities say she siphoned more than $8,000 from her tax-preparer over a nine-month period.

Hoover police Capt. Gregg Rector and court records provided this account: A man who is a tax preparer noticed money disappearing from his Regions account. Between Feb. 1 and Nov. 29 in 2013, the man said $8,714.28 was taken from his account without his knowledge or permission.

The charges on his account were auto drafts from the following companies: Sprint, Charter Communications, Alabama Power, Assurance America, Direct TV, Suzuki and AAIC. Once he looked further, he said noticed Lee's name beside the charge on his bank statement.

The man told police that Lee was one of his clients at his tax service business. He said that at the time she used his business, he was offering rebates for using his service. He issued those rebates in the form of a check.

The victim said the check he gave Lee was from the same account where he had noticed the fraudulent charges. Police launched an investigation and found the woman had opened numerous accounts using the victim's personal information.

Lee was arrested in Hoover last week. She has since been released from jail on $75,000 bond.
